how can i repair antimonium? Answered

I have this antimonium piece that is supposed to hold on to a shaft with a set screw, the thing is that the screw hole is just to big, I need a way to make it smaller, and hard enough to hold the 3x3mm set screw in place.

I'd get a smaller pipe and JB Weld it into the original hole. You might have to bore out the original hole a little (with a drill or rasp) to accomadate the new small pipe. If it needed threads, I'd cut those before JB welding it in place.

depending on how much bigger the hole is to the original screw you could get a piece of thin walled pipe to put in the hole to make it smaller.
Or, depending if you want to be able to remove the screw later or not, put the screw in and fill the surrounding area with epoxy resin.
